Shen Qiuyang frowned and said, "If you keep this up, your body will eventually break down. I’m not at ease with you living here alone. Come with me and stay at my place, I’ll make sure you sleep at night." "Well..." She grinned, her calves kicking back as she retreated. "That won’t be necessary, right? I have Da Bai here, with Da Bai by my side, it’s all good!" But Da Bai let out a growl, glaring fiercely at Dong Huiying before turning around with a swish of its large tail, sauntering towards Shen Qiuyang. Shen Qiuyang patted Da Bai’s tiger head, "See, Da Bai is on my side." Da Bai roared at Shen Qiuyang, then shook its tiger head vehemently, as if discontented that Shen Qiuyang dared to touch its head so casually? Shen Qiuyang chuckled softly, "I’ve fed you so much jerky, you’ve gotten quite a bit fatter recently." Da Bai pawed at its chubby belly, its expression seemingly revealing a hint of guilt? Dong Huiying was reluctant to leave her nest, but she couldn’t stand up to Shen Qiuyang’s insistence. Finally, with a troubled expression on her face, she said, "Look, there are so many bits and broken things here. Even if I were to move to your place, I’d need to tidy up first. How about this, I’ll clean up here tonight, and I’ll go back with you first thing in the morning?" Shen Qiuyang snorted, "Don’t think I can’t see through your little tricks. But fine, since you want to stay one more night, I’ll come back to pick you up tomorrow." She was surely planning to stay up all night refining Gu while he was away; her intentions were written all over her face. Afterwards, Dong Huiying worked tirelessly at Gu refinement, while Shen Qiuyang left the cave... On the mountain, outside a wooden hut, two men in black stood firmly in place. These two men exuded an aura of murder, but their faces were concealed with black triangular bandanas, revealing only their foreheads and eyes. One of them, tall and sturdy, seemed to be injured, silent and sullen, resting with his eyes closed against a large tree outside the hut. The other was much leaner, with more serious injuries, rolling up his sleeve to apply medicine to his wounds. "Black Eagle, your ointment is really miraculous; where did you get it from? If it weren’t for these wound medicines, we’d have been in serious trouble this time." The speaker, codenamed Black Dog, had been defeated by a weirdly dressed young girl in the black market. After learning about Elder Heisan’s scheme, he strove for improvement, eventually passing the trial set by Hei Second Mother, and was teamed up with Black Eagle, to carry out a mission in Qingfeng Prefecture. This trip was fraught with danger, a close brush with death. Had it not been for the miraculous effects of the wound medicine Black Eagle carried, they would have certainly perished on this mission. Black Eagle, Liang Haoming. His face shrouded with a triangular bandana, his presence was imposing and murderous, at first glance, he seemed a ruthless character with a bloody vendetta, but at this moment, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, void of everything. When Blacks Dog mentioned the wound medicine, Liang Haoming slowly lowered his gaze, his long eyelashes trembling lightly, and beneath the masked bandana, his thin lips were already pressed into a firm, cold line. Seeing him , Black Dog understood; he must be thinking of ’that person’ again, and he regretted bringing up the wrong topic. It was probably over two months ago that Black Eagle began to take on missions, each more dangerous than the last. He earned a significant amount of bounty, acting as if he was out of money rather than out of life, yet all the hard-earned money was spent on bounties for the issuance of new missions. He was looking for someone, the young girl who had beaten Black Dog in the black market — Black Cat.
